7/7 Memorial Service 2026

On 7 July 2005, four bombs exploded across London at Aldgate Station, Edgware Road, King's Cross/Russell Square and Tavistock Square, taking 52 lives and injuring many more.

2026 marks the 21^st anniversary of the bombings.

The Mayor of London and representatives of the key agencies and emergency services will pay tribute to the victims during the annual wreath laying ceremony. This is a tribute of remembrance to honour the people killed and injured and their families, and to the first responders and other members of the public who were intimately involved in the event and aftermath.

There is a personal commemoration service for survivors and bereaved families following the wreath laying ceremony. This service is an intimate moment and will include music from the London International Gospel Choir, a series of readings and the laying of flowers by bereaved families and survivors.

We ask that members of the public remember the victims, bereaved and survivors by watching the dedicated livestream, via the 7 July Community YouTube channel. The livestream will begin on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at 11:50am.

2025 was marked with a poignant service at St Paul's Cathedral, to mark this significant anniversary, for those directly connected to the incident. Watch the Commemoration for the 20^th Anniversary of the London Bombings.

Service details will be shared closer to the time.
